[Tool Assisted Trombone] 'Through the Fire and Flames' in Trombone Champ 

This is possible using the mods AutoToot by TomDotBat (github.com/TomDotBat/AutoToot/ ) and Circular Breathing by Christoffyw. Now you can hear all the mistakes I made when making this map. 👍

I like with the wireframe you can tell how much higher poly the trombone is than the player. Priorities.

The fact that theres a circular breathing mod can only mean one thing: its only a matter of time before the 300000 note song that is in clone hero gets ported here, even If for only one pitch.

Tromboner played so fast the animation was reduced to a single frame

Even the TAT couldn't nail it all. TTFAF is truely a song that keeps on giving

Not even close to the masterpiece that was when you covered it.

“Tool assisted trombone” has just been added to my vocabulary and I’m more than ok with it

Someone needs to make a mod that stops the trombone from maxing its pitch at one octave above the starting note so that this chart can be truely heard

even the autotoot still made 283 non perfect notes, this chart truly transcends possibility

Well now I'm CONVINCED that a full combo is just outright impossible if even the bot can't do it.

Whoever can actually manage like a close FC to this song is actually a fucking god

it's impressive to see a real person play this, but it's also very enjoyable to listen to this perfect version

I love how at 7:14 the TAS completely craps its pants😂

I like how if you do too much pitch bending too quickly the trombone just stops keeping up

the wiggling notes are so funny they have me in stitches every time

Even the TAobama fails lol

I was waiting for a tas version but didn't expect it so soon, nor did I expect the bot to fail so badly

typical through the fire and flames song, being charted in a way that you are playing far more than is reasonably expected. in guitar hero you are basically playing the parts of 2 or 3 guitars and here you are expected to play the lyrics and the guitar parts. never ceases to overwhelm people. 10/10

Although this TAS run is fascinating, there was something special, something human about the original run. As we are all human, perhaps perfection is not preferable to error

I can't stop laughing because the slides notes at 5:30 sounds like the sfx of Mario going through pipes 😂😂😂

I'm always amused at the absolute insanity that gets ported into every rhythm game in existence, there are some out there for Clone Hero that I wouldn't even be able to reach 1% in lol.

I love how even the TAT can't flawless this insanity

You know is hard when even the machine fucks up

Impressive work for both videos! We all know the original is the crowd favourite, but yes - outstanding!

He has ascended beyond the need for an animation, his resolve is as clear as his skin

I see that even with the circular breathing mod, it is still impossible to get a perfect because some notes overlap. I think I have devised a solution for this, however. *Clearly, we need a two trombones at once mod.*

Funny how it just becomes a MIDI file

The amount of times this track makes the trombone go Pac-Man is perfect

“The Arc of the Moral Universe is Long, But it Bends Toward Justice.” - Martin Luther King Jr, about Through the Fire and the Flames on Trombone Hero

5:05 When your note line turns into hill climb racing map

I don't know the mechanics of the game, but instruments generally require a lead up before the note to drive the instrument. With a piano it's the hammer, a trombone air, a drum, ya know, the drumstick. It's that anticipation of a note that allows makes it on time. I don't think it'll help here, but quite rad you took the time to make a tat. I can't wait to see one of flight of the bumble bee.

the fact that the bot is having trouble and actually lost it streak just goes to show that this song is HARD! 2:16 , 4:10 , 4:19 , 4:22 , 4:30 , 5:28 , 5:31 , 6:07 , 6:09 , 7:13 - 7:17 are the times the bot is failing due to human error in the making of the map and or the difficulty of the reaction time that it responds to which is faster than it can react to.

Wow, it sounds good. It's amazing what being just a little off pitch or timing will do

"Tool Assisted Trombone" Aaahh we're on that side of youtube again, not that I'm complaining.

If the tas can't even get an FC I don't know how us plebs are supposed to handle the hit detection lmao

I've never sat down and listened to the full song until this moment. And it is such a beautiful moment.

A damn robot can't even do this. I'm beginning to wonder if its even near possible

5:29 when the chart goes so hard you become pacman

for some reason 7:15 is the funniest noise I've heard all week

You know what we need next? Free Bird. I'd love to hear the Free Bird solo on a trombone.

This is what I expected from the first one 😀

Now this is what TAS (or TAT in this case) was made for lmao

07:07 you know you're in for a treat when the end segment starts with BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAHH

I love how it still sounds off even when played right. Like the Trombone can replace no instrument, and no instrument can be replaced by trombone. Only really sounds good with pieces written for it.

This is honestly exactly what I wanted to see. Beautiful.

Both versions are amazing, but your first rendition was a really fantastic attempt.

This is the song that plays when a scrimblo side character is far more powerful than the mc expected.

2:14 pacman just died

You missed the chance to call it a Tool Operated Opus Technology...TOOTs.

I appreciate the work that went into this OP :)

Dude’s gained 200 subs in half a day, hats off to you

I love how the bass track is both mixed higher, and is more complex than in the original song in the mod

I know this isn’t the point but “Tool Assisted Trombone” is absolutely sending me.

I love that even the score counter couldn't even keep up with the song. When the song ended it was at 15 mil and still going up.

I was waiting for this for so long. Like three days

Interesting to hear the intended arrangement. Thanks!

Friend: “You okay in there?” Me in the bathroom after Taco Bell: 5:08

im gonna be crying on this channel all night

Fun song to hear accurately played out but I still prefer your sheer panic trying to play this song

This was nothing short of ridiculous!

I'm impressed they made an animation for the score line escaping the final score screen.

This was the perfection i was looking for

you know when even the computer is failing, it's a hard chart

That wobbly trombone is the funniest thing ever! Now I want to see this cover with the lyrics, that would be majestic.

This is exactly what I needed in life

I get the feeling whoever charted this isn't primarily a musician

Going on my workout playlist

Anyone else notice that the trombone if slowed down would more than likely sound like safety dance? Especially the “we can dance if you want to…”

This is what I've been looking for, a true *perfecto* trombone

I just love how sections of the solo become one long slide.

I synced this with the actual song on spotify and have never felt so happy.

POV: The lead guitars and vocalists didn't show up, so they got someone with a trombone to cover for them.

..... Du miel pour les oreilles ! 🍯

Osu players: Taking too long too FC this song DerpyChap: Fine I'll program it myself.

That rating meter probably took a whole 360 around the entire solar system

If even the bot is failing to perfect run this then theres only one thing i can say. If you can play Through the fire and flames then you are officially a legend. In any instrument.

reminds me of when i was in marching band and we went to a competition where a band did ac/dc

Good thing it had lyrics to sing while you play the trombone man

Absolute masterpiece

It's funny because this actually sounds good

the fact that even the tas missed on 0:57 is amazing

I love when that even when a computer does it, it still sounds like SHIT! which is AWESOME

Every time I would get this exact same song from this exact same game in my recommended and every time the quality of the playthrough improved. I went from watching some dude fail miserably at life and breaking down to this absolute masterpiece, making my life complete. I suppose... my time is up. There is no better than a perfect score. One cannot improve anymore. It is my time to say farewell to the art that is this. Through Fire and Flames I shall go to meet you all again. See you on the other side.

It's incredible that they named the unlimited breath mod circular breathing

the thought of a TAT makes me chuckle

Well that was certainly unique to listen to.

I like those squiggly notes.

congrats, this killed of the fun part of this game

Even when played semi-perfectly those long slide notes just sound wrong

There were so many perfectly timed airhorns in this

I never asked for this but I'm happy I found it.

this song is so hardcore on the trombone, the computer couldn't keep up

Yo this guy is crazy skilled.

Truly Musical comedy at its finest

I finished the other video attempt right before this was uploaded, 11/10 showed to all my friends.

YES THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TAS TROMBONE

7:19 the perfectly timed airhorn killed me lmao

For those wondering why even the bot can’t FC it, a big part of it is because the final vibrato lasts longer than the player’s breath meter. If somehow we developed tech to bypass this, there’s still the problem of some notes being so precise that they overlap. So even though the final vibrato can be done by playing on a higher speed, the overlapping notes that are barely possible on normal speed would absolutely become impossible. An additional part of this is just the way the bot is programmed. I’m sure it can be optimized to search for notes before the current one ends rather than searching for another note the frame the current note ends like it seems it does now.

Having arranged this for trombone for a section leader audition a few years ago Im surprised at how similar some of the parts ended up being (obv the solos were a bit different)

When I originally saw the jump in notes at 7:14 I said you're gonna need tool assistance looks like we're gonna need something stronger
